DRAFT: Austin Wates, Nolan Belcher, Brian Goodwin, Jake Lemmerman... and Robbie Anston

Austin Wates:

3-17 from: http://www.baseballrumormill.com/ : - Austin Wates, Virginia Tech: Impressed scouts this summer in the Cape Cod league and is considered the best overall prospect of the group. "If you want a bat for the top of your lineup, he might be the best guy for that job," said one scout. "He might be able to drive in runs for you, though."





Nolan Belcher:

3-17 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/03/17/sec-recap-for-march-16th: - Nolan Belcher hurled six scoreless innings to pick up his second win of the season and Scott Wingodrove in a career-high four runs as South Carolina defeated Furman 15-0 on Tuesday night at Fluor Field. Belcher allowed just four hits in six innings of work and tallied six strikeouts with just one walk allowed. He is 2-0 on the year.

Brian Goodwin:


3-16 from: - http://www.prospectjunkies.com/ : - Brian Goodwin - RF - UNC 4-4 4R 5RBI 2BB HR. Freshman. Unsigned 09 White Sox draftee and my early pick for D1 Freshman of the Year.











Jake Lemmerman:


3-16 from: http://baseballdraftreport.com/ : - Saturday: JR SS Jake Lemmerman (Duke): 3-6, HR, 2B, 4 RBI, 3 R, K - I still need to finalize some of my college positional rankings, but I’m starting to think Jake Lemmerman may sneak up higher on the SS list than I ever thought possible heading into the year. My early reports on him, both from firsthand observation and through the grapevine, all indicated that his future was as an all-defense/above-average speed/minimal offense type of player. Then somebody casually mentioned they liked his bat more than most, citing untapped power potential in his 6-2, 185 pound frame. It’s early yet, but so far that little birdie has proved prophetic. Lemmerman is a quality player who will solidify his spot in the first ten rounds if he keeps up his current level of performance.

Robbie Anston:

3-16 from http://baseballdraftreport.com/  - Saturday: JR OF Robbie Anston (Boston College): 2-3, 2B, BB, R - Anston is an underrated 2010 outfielder with good gap power and strong baseball instincts. I wish I had more confident reports about his defense in center because the ability to play above-average defense up the middle would really give his prospect stock the shot in the arm it needs.
